Download of Operational Subscription Profile - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240314538 titled 'Download of Operational Subscription Profile

The abstract describes a method for downloading an operational subscription profile to a communication device, involving obtaining temporary and operational PSI, network attachment with multiple MNOs, and downloading the profile from an eSIM server.

  • The method involves obtaining a temporary PSI based on the device's EID and providing it to a first MNO for network attachment.
  • An operational PSI is obtained from an eSIM server via the first MNO for network access authentication and provided to a second MNO for network connectivity.
  • The operational subscription profile is downloaded from the eSIM server via the second MNO to the communication device.

Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in eSIM-enabled devices for seamless network connectivity. - It can streamline the process of provisioning subscription profiles on communication devices.

Problems Solved: - Simplifies the process of downloading subscription profiles on communication devices. - Enables efficient network attachment and authentication procedures.

Benefits: - Enhances user experience by automating the profile download process. - Facilitates quick and reliable network connectivity on eSIM devices.

Commercial Applications: "Efficient Subscription Profile Download Method for Communication Devices" can be utilized in smartphones, tablets, wearables, and other eSIM-enabled devices to improve user experience and streamline network connectivity processes.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does this method improve the user experience on eSIM-enabled devices? 2. What are the potential cost-saving benefits for MNOs and device manufacturers with this technology?


Original Abstract Submitted

there is provided mechanisms for downloading an operational subscription profile to a communication device. a method is performed by the communication device. the communication device has an eid and is provided with a provisioning subscription profile. the method comprises obtaining a temporary psi for the provisioning subscription profile, wherein the temporary psi is based on the eid. the method comprises providing, whilst using the provisioning subscription profile, the temporary psi to a first mno as part of performing network attachment with the first mno. the first mno is selected based on the temporary psi. the method comprises obtaining, whilst using the provisioning subscription profile and as part of performing network access authentication for the network attachment, an operational psi from an esim server via the first mno. the method comprises providing, whilst using the provisioning subscription profile, the operational psi to a second mno as part of establishing initial network connectivity with the second mno. the second mno is selected based on the operational psi. the method comprises downloading, whilst using the initial network connectivity and the provisioning subscription profile, the operational subscription profile from the esim server via the second mno to the communication device.
